Another nice place ‘on the block’ is Backyard in the Jumeirah area. They serve decent coffee (although, all new places have actually learned to make specialty coffee), a regular set of toasts/panini/waffles/burgers/breakfasts, reasonable minimalism and lots of guests from neighbouring buildings. Clearly, each place in Jumeirah aspires to be the neighbourhood spot and there are lots of candidates, while people choose what they really like. What we witnessed during our last two visits is almost full house, which means they did it.
